My Kobe rules defense finally broke Kobe in game 6. Just 16 points on 7/18 shooting. He was throwing up wild crap all game long. After 5 games of never leading by double figures, I was rolling, up 21 late in the 3rd quarter.

The reason? Jared Sullinger. 22 points, 5 boards and 4 assists off my bench. Player of the game and didnt even start.
Detroit changed up the coverages on Durant (he only took 8 shots in this game due to the double teams), and the post was vulnerable all game long. The guy is a beast of a mismatch on the low block and skinny KG and AK47 couldn't deal with him one on one and help 25 feet away stuck on Durant. It was one of those "checkmate" moments where you know you have the CPU beaten at halftime.

Nash really earned his ring as well. A double double in each of the last 3 games, all W's. he was the perfect compliment to KD and I hope he stays another year.

It wasn't about being the team everyone loved, it was about beating the teams everyone else loved.

Re: NBA 2k13 league take 2 (XBOX 360)

damn my young guys have improved so much Beal went from a 75 to an 82. Lillard an 82 to an 88.

Sucks I didnt get the #1 pick might have to trade up lol. I tanked for it but just didn't win the lottery. My team is so young in 2 or 3 years this group will be scary if I can get a good SF and PF to pair with them.

NOTE - I don't recall if the Offseason Task 1 IMMEDIATELY started after the NBA Finals completed...or if there was a 1 or 2 Full Calendar day "break" inbetween when the NBA Finals completed and when the 1st Offseason task is started.....where you can't really do anything but just "take a rest". But whether there is a "break" or not.....just make a note of it once the League Calendar advances after the NBA Finals is completed.

Offseason Task 1
Once the Offseason Task 1 starts...you will have 1 or 2 full Calendar Days ( don't remember which ) to do the following:

NOTE - This part is pretty straight forward....just remember not to push the "START" button on your controller as it will advance to the next task on your offseason Task list. You may accidentally accept a Team Option for a Player that you don't want to keep.

Offseason Task 2
Once the Offseason Task 1 is completed and the League Calendar Advances.....the Offseason Task 2 will start. For Offseason Task 2, there will be a Draft which will IMMEDIATELY be followed by the Free Agency ( as in RIGHT AFTER the Draft completes, you will have the option to sign Free Agents ). At this point, the Draft Date and Time will be set by the CPU....but the Admin of the League will have the option to adjust the Start Time and Date of the Draft to any time and Date within the next 30 days....which you will want to definitely do.

The Draft is pretty straight forward....so nothing new there. Most of the Players outside of the Top 5 are between the high 50s to high 60s. The Top 5 usually are in the low to mid 70s. But for Free Agency, it is broken into 13 League Calendar days where each League Calendar Day lasts roughly 90 seconds ( in real time ). You will have the option to make offers to Free Agents on each of the days. Once that first Free Agent day ends ( in 90 seconds ) and you have made offers to the Free Agents ( like CP3 or Dwight ), it will advance to the 2nd Free Agent signing Day and you see if your offers were accepted or not.....and then have the chance to sign another 90 seconds to make another run at remaining Free Agents. This continues for 13 rounds.

NOTE - Depending on what your League Speed is ( such as FAST ), the draft may be set by the CPU to start 6 or 8 hours after the League Calendar Advances...which maybe at an odd time. The League Admin should make a note of when Offseason Task 1 completes so that he/she can log in and adjust the Date and Time once the League Calendar advances to Offseason Task 2 to the specific time and Date that all of your League Members can attend. Since the Free Agency is the most important Offseason Task that can make or break a Team, the Admin should contact ALL of the Players and figure out when they can meet. If a Player have Team needs ( such as getting the roster up to 12 Players along while having no SFs on the roster ) to fill and the Player is not able to attend the Free Agency...the CPU will find a SF Free Agent and sign him for you. The problem is that the CPU could care less about whether you wanted that Player or not nor your Cap situation...the CPU will just fill the need for you ( think Isiah Thomas signing Jerome James to that long term contract ). Although the Draft is irrelevant unless you have a top 5 pick.....since the Free Agency starts right after that.....everyone will want to be there to sign Free Agents cuz the Offseason could make or break a Team ( I ended up stealing JR Smith from another Team cuz the Owner of that Team wasn't there ).

Although you have 30 days to figure out when to set the Draft Date / Time....for me, it was REALLY HARD to simply find a time where everyone could attend. So what you may want to do is start reaching out to your League and figuring out the Date And Time of the Draft / Free Agency. Overall, the Draft and Free Agency period takes roughly 60 to 90 minutes ( don't remember which ).....so plan accordingly.

Offseason Task 3
Training Camp - If you have REWARD POINTS, you can update and improve your Players by sending them to Training Camp. This just takes a day or two in real Time.

Re: NBA 2k13 league take 2 (XBOX 360)

I asked CableKC who gave me all this great information on how the off-season works. Just looks mostly like you have to be engaged and active so your off-season isn't a disaster. I cannot see the draft list, I just saw that it said Portland got the #1 pick by winning the draft lottery.

Re: NBA 2k13 league take 2 (XBOX 360)

I'm trying to get rid of Mike Conley before free agency starts so holler if you're interested.

I was interested in him before I got Ty Lawson. Actually, I still would be interested. I'm already playing a backcourt with two PGs as it is. Or I might be interested in a Ty for Mike swap, possibly. Any thoughts? I also have Rubio if you think he's interesting.

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Would you do Lawson and Johnson for Conley and Ryan Anderson? If you don't wanna get rid of Johnson I would take Henson instead.
